My kids didn’t start school at the same time this year, my oldest began Grade 4 three days before her sisters. It was really odd having this staggered ‘back to school’ routine, I really can’t say I liked it at all.
The worst part was that it really confused the twins, they kept asking why their sister was at school and they weren’t. We all know how repetitive this gets {worse than ‘are we there yet’}, so when the day finally came for them, we were all more than happy.
Last week I shared a photo of Isabelle’s First Day of Grade 4.
This post? It’s dedicated to the twins and their first day of Kindergarten. How’d that sneak up so fast? Smiles on and ready to go, they were so excited. Unlike their older daughter too, I was able to get a TON of photos to commemorate the day {as in, not just one photo then many eye-rolls thereafter}.
Yet, new and unknown is a little intimidating. They listened and took it all in, yet never left each others side. In fact, when on the tour of the school, this is how they walked. And didn’t.let.go.
Let it stand for the record that these two hardly ever hold hands. Even when crossing the street and I ask them to, is met with some degree of complaining and arguing. So this moment captured? I die!!
It was agreed by the twins that Kindergarten is about the best thing ever. First day, success!
My little Miss Katie & Sophia … Kinders!

09/10/2013 at 12:10 pmI love that they are holding hands, especially, knowing that they aren’t really hand holders! I cried when I left my first daughter at kindergarten; she was fine! lol
Tammi says

Tammi says
09/10/2013 at 5:51 pmMy girls said the same thing on Saturday!! Hope that always stays, since i’m sure there’ll come a point when they will not want to go!
🙂

Alissa Apel says
09/10/2013 at 3:40 pmHow sweet! Are they in the same class? That’s good they have each other through a sometimes scary event.
I remember how you posted about them not wanting to keep their diapers on. Time sure does slip on by. Isaak started Kindergarten on the 14th of August.
Tammi says
09/10/2013 at 5:52 pmomg, that seems like just yesterday, wow!! So happy you remember that post, so nice of you to have read my blog for that long. 🙂
Hope Isaak had a great first {almost} month!!

Tammi says
09/10/2013 at 8:31 pmYES and YES! I really do feel lucky x2 then one more with my oldest. Having twins has truly been the most AWESOME experience.

Tiffany C. (Fabulous Mom Blog) says
09/11/2013 at 5:57 amHow adorable. It must be neat for them to have an automatic friend in school. Your girls are adorable.
Tammi says
09/11/2013 at 6:34 amI think it would be really cool. Their relationship as twins astounds me sometimes!

Deanna T. (@MapleLeafMommy) says
09/11/2013 at 7:13 amI can’t help thinking how lucky they are to have each other to share this big milestone with. That photo of them holding hands is just too sweet.
Tammi says
09/12/2013 at 9:09 amYes, I think so too. I would have loved to have a sister like they have. Such a special relationship!
alex says
09/11/2013 at 7:15 amso sweet! My youngest started Kindergarten this year too! in our district, they all started on the same day, but the neighboring district had the kinder “slow start” as well. too confusing! I was just glad to see them off on the same morning! bittersweet, but still so proud! 🙂
Tammi says
09/12/2013 at 9:10 amWe survived, and that’s the important thing, right?
🙂

Jennifer @ Mom Spotted says
09/11/2013 at 2:17 pmThat is weird that they make them start differently. They look beautiful on their first day! Glad they had each other.
Tammi says
09/12/2013 at 9:16 amI think it’s so that they get used to the teacher/school without ALL the kids there, maybe makes it easier for some?
paula schuck says
09/11/2013 at 4:26 pmThey are so cute! My favourite picture here is the cute backpacks and shoes. It’s perfect.
Tammi says
09/12/2013 at 9:16 amThank you Paula! I wanted to remember every bot of that morning!
Soozle says
09/11/2013 at 5:42 pmSo beautiful! 🙂 Who was the first day harder for – you or them? 🙂 I hope their first day went well!
Tammi says
09/12/2013 at 9:17 amI think we all took it well. No tears at all, success!
Jennifer @ The Quirky Momma says
09/11/2013 at 9:14 pmI love the Hello Kitty outfits and backpacks. Hello Kitty has been a favorite of mine for decades!
Cheryl Grandy says
09/11/2013 at 9:27 pmIt’s so nice for your twins that they can have each other there for support on their first day of kindergarten! I guess that’s one of the perks of being twins.
Elizabeth Vlug says
09/12/2013 at 2:31 amAdorable. A great big step for them and for you!
Nicole says
09/12/2013 at 9:05 pmWhat a beautiful cherished moment! Love your photos, your girls are adorable!

Darlene Schuller says
10/21/2013 at 6:18 pmaww.. you must enjoy those quiet moments at home now! I know I look forward to the girls going to school and the silence that befalls after. I don’t know about your ladies, but mine have the gift of gab… fast gab!
loriag says
10/28/2013 at 6:01 amGood for them, and good for you! Kindergarten can be scary but once they are in the door a fabulous thing.
Elizabeth Matthiesen says
10/30/2013 at 2:42 pmwhat beautiful children, I’m sure it was an exciting day for all of you. So sweet that they held hands all the time. As a twin myself I found one of the most annoying things was that we only ever seemed to count together. First question when I was on my own was always where my sister was! Now if she had only been a sister and not a twin no one would have bother asking. Weird eh?
desiree says
11/08/2013 at 3:22 pmthe kid look like a great deal andtheni had twin a glri and boy and then they were a hand full
Angie Andrews says
12/02/2013 at 9:41 pmGlad to hear they had a wonderful first day and how sweet of the two of them to hold hands 🙂
Anne C. says
12/21/2013 at 10:06 amYour girls are absolutely adorable. I remember well many years ago, they are 27 now, when mine girls started Kindergarten. They put them in separate classes and pretty well all through school it was that way.
